Disclaimer: I own nothing, I am too unimaginative to think up my own characters.
A/N: This is my first fanfiction EVER so please go easy on me. I know there are a lot of one-shot stories filled with fluff but what's one more? And also, this is a Jesses POV thing.
I sat staring out the window watching as the ocean tide went in and out. I realized suddenly that my life is like the ocean; it does the same thing every day. No changes, nothing. I guess you can't really call it living though, because technically, I'm dead. Even when I was alive I never really experienced life. I ate, drank and slept sure enough, but I never really lived.
That all changed the day I met Susannah. I never expected to feel so much joy, not in death nor living. She opened my eyes to a world I had been blinded to the past 150 years.
"Are you telling me there was no such thing as PIZZA when you were alive!?!"
"Yes, I am"
"I sincerely hope that you do not intend on leaving your mouth open like that all the time as it is rather disgusting."
That was usually how our conversations would go but all the same I felt a growing connection with her. As we got to know one another our conversations progressed and I soon found myself in love with her. It was like it snuck up on me from behind and I was soon consumed by it.
"Hey Jesse?" Susannah asked me one evening before she went to sleep.
"Yes, querida?" She was sitting on her bed in a pair of "boxers" I believe she calls them, and a baggy T-shirt.
"Have you ever been in love?" That one, simple question made my heart jump up into my throat. How was I supposed to answer that?
"Yes, actually I have, but only once. She is a beautiful, independent and free spirited girl who knows what she wants and will eventually get it," was what I finally managed to get out.
"Is?" She questioned in a squeaky voice. I soon realized the slip my tongue had made so I decided I best just plunge in headfirst. I did not wish to loose her friendship but I saw no other way out.
I got up off the window seat and sat next to her on the bed. I gazed intently into her eyes that were almost too green to bear.
"Yes querida, is." And that's when I kissed her. I hardly expected her to kiss back but to my surprise she did. And it was bliss.
All of a sudden, I realized that my life was exactly the same as the ocean, only not in the way I had initially thought. The ocean may go in and out everyday but it is constantly changing, for the same water never laps upon the same shore. My feelings are like the water. I know I shall never feel the exact same ever again, but I hope, in my heart of hearts, that I shall remember the happiness and love I felt on that day.
A/N: sorry its so short....like I said, its my first try. Please R&R.
